Here's my take.  Boeheim took below market pay to stay at Syracuse.  Autry made a below average head coaching salary as he was a promoted assistant.  Thus, Syracuse became used to paying a below average head coaching salary.  Then revenue sharing showed up as well as NIL.  The revenue sharing isn't the problem, but NIL is hard and you need the school administration, the athletic department, boosters, fans, and local businesses in alignment.  That is very difficult given Syracuse has a new President, a new AD, and, it appears, boosters who may not be happy.  In other words, the timing to replace Autry was not ideal as the important factions are not aligned and financially committed to returning Syracuse basketball to the top of college basketball.

And, Syracuse appears to have gone all in (as much as Syracuse can be all in) on football.  That means Syracuse men's basketball has become secondary when it comes to financial resources.

This means Syracuse has to attract a coach who can coach up the players and rebuild the program.  When Syracuse starts winning again, the financial resources will be found.
